Having seen thousands

of patients with different

needs and aspirations

for their smile and

having witnessed

over the past decade

or so an explosion in

advanced technological

applications to dentistry,

I can now say that we

are truly blessed to be

living in this era and I am

sure what is to come is

even more exciting and

possibly mind blowing.

I wrote this article with

one objective in mind,

how to summarise all the

new treatment options

and how they apply to

different people as cost

effective as possible, all

in the name of Chasing

The Perfect Smile.

• Let’s start with children, these days

we have fillings and sealants that can be

applied in a couple of minutes and they

release fluoride constantly to the tooth

structure even years after placing them

therefore even the most high risk kids can

these days have healthy teeth and reduce

the possibility of decay.

At this age group it is also important to

correct jaw growth problems using few

simple appliances as it is much easier to be

corrected now than left to get worse which

will require years of orthodontic treatments

or even worse orthognathic surgery.

• While the teenhood carry many

challenges to the teenagers and parents,

this period of life is one of the most

important periods for the oral and dental

health, as if your child have bad or crooked

teeth and not have them corrected early

they will be condemned to a life time of

dental breakdown and non stop visits to

the dentist to fix those problems not to

mention the associated costs.

These days we have braces that are

costume made, computer designed, robot

milled and specifically generated for every

single tooth for that particular patient,

this makes orthodontic treatments much

quicker, achieving better results and way

more comfortable that the old style braces.

But we also have invisalign teen and other

invisible orthodontic options which are

great alternatives for those who still don’t

want to have braces on their teeth

• Adulthood is the time to maintain good

and healthy teeth and gums. Research

shows that a well balanced, white and

healthy smile means high self confidence,

better careers and happier relationships.

And research also show that gum disease

is a major contributor to poor general

health, diseases in major organs and heart

problems !

A visible missing tooth could be deva-

stating, it is noticed that once people lose a

tooth or break a tooth they get discouraged

from looking after the rest of their teeth

which can start a chain reaction! These

days there are many many options to

achieve that beautiful smile and restore the

self confidence and life satisfaction, here

are few of those options:

1. Dental implants: They are great options

to replace 1 or

multiple missing

teeth. These days

they are a lot cheaper

than they were and

can be placed very

easily (usually within

15 minutes) and

very comfortably.

(Price $2000-$5000

depending on the

type)

2. Porcelain Bridges: An alternative

for people who are not suitable for implants,

this will not only replace the missing tooth,

but it will protect the adjacent teeth and

improve the shape and colour, all within 2-3

weeks

3. All teeth on 4 implants: this is a revolu-

tionary technique were we replace all the

teeth (completely) with just 4 implants per

arch and you can get the final permanent

teeth within 2-3 days. (Price $9000 - $29,000

per jaw)

4. Invisalign: the completely invisible way

to straight teeth (in case you didn’t have a

chance to do it while teenager !)

(Price $3000-8000)

5. Computer designed and Robot milled

Braces: for those difficult cases who are not

suitable for invisalign and want fast results.

(Price $2500 - $8000)

6. Lingual Braces: braces placed behind

the teeth, yet another option to achieve

beautiful and straight teeth. (It is a bit more

expensive than conventional braces)

7. Porcelain Veneers: this was only

affordable for the rich and TV personalities,

but these days they are very affordable to

everyone and it seems to be the thing that

most adults ask for and truly appreciate

as it gives an instant transformation

and permanent perfect straight white

smile,a huge boost to personal and work

relationships. This is suitable for people

who have stained or discoloured teeth,

crooked teeth, broken or uneven teeth, teeth

with multiple fillings or anyone who want a

nicer smile. Veneers are thin shells that are

bonded permanently to the outside surface

of teeth to give us that amazing smile.

(price $800-1400 per veneer)

8. Snap on smiles: this is an alternative

to dentures, implants and veneers, it is of

very low cost , It is a removable option that

literally change your whole look by just

snapping it in place. It is suitable for people

who have stained or discoloured teeth,

missing teeth, crooked teeth, broken or

uneven teeth, teeth with multiple fillings

or anyone who wants a nicer smile. (Price

$2300 per arch)

9. Sapphire and Zoom laser whitening

the dentist is the only person who can

apply 37% hydrogen peroxide with Laser

activation to achieve those whiter teeth

everyone wants. Even though some beauty

salons offer whitening it is not of the same

efficacy and safety. We cover all the gums,

isolate the teeth and safely finish the

procedure without any harm to gums and

teeth, something you are not guaranteed in

beauty salons

We hope you find the

information in this article

helpful and regardless if you are

young or old shiny clean teeth

will entice you to smile and be

smiled at.

• While the teenhood carry many

challenges t the teenagers and p rents,

this period of life i one of the most

important periods for the oral and dental

h alth, as if y ur child have bad or crooked

teeth and not have them orrected e rly

they will be c nd mned to a lif time f

dental breakdown and non stop visits to

the dentis to fix those problems not to

mention the associated costs.

These days we have br ces that are

costume mad , computer designed, r bot

milled and sp cifically generat for ev ry

single tooth for that particular patient,

this makes ort odontic treat ents much

qu cker, achieving better results and way

more comfortable that t e old style braces.

But we also have invisalign teen and other

invisible orthodontic options which are

great alternatives for those who still don’t

want to have braces on their teeth

• Adulthood is the time to maintain good

and healthy teeth and gums. Research

shows that a well balanced, white and

healthy smile means high self confid nce,

better careers and happier relationships.

A d research lso show that gum disease

is a major contributor to poor general

health, diseases in ajor organs nd heart

problems !

A visible missing tooth could be deva-

stating, it is noticed that once people lose a

tooth or break a tooth they get discouraged

from looking after the rest of their teeth

which can start a chain reaction! These

days there are many many options to

achiev that beautiful smile and restore the

self confidence and life satisfaction, here

are few of t ose options:

1. Dental implants: Th y are great options

to re lace 1 or

multiple missing

teeth. These days

they are a lot cheaper

than they were and

can be placed very

easily (usually within

15 minutes) a d

very comfortably.

(Price $2000-$5000

depending on th

type)

2. Porc lain Bridges: An alte native

for people who ar not suitable fo implants,

this will not only r place the missing tooth,

but it will protect the adjacent teeth and

improve the shape and colour, all within 2-3

weeks

3. All te th on 4 impla ts: this is a revolu-

tionary technique were we replace all the

teeth (completely) with just 4 implants per

arch and you can get the final permanent

teeth within 2-3 days. (Price $9000 - $29,000

per jaw)

4. Invisalign: the completely invisible way

to straight teeth (in case you didn’t have a

chance to do it while t enag r !)

(Price $3000-8000)

5. Computer designed and Robot milled

Braces: for those difficult cases who are not

suitable for invisalign and want fast results.

(Price $2500 - $8000)

6. Lingual Braces: braces placed behind

the teeth, yet another option to achieve

beautiful and straight teeth. (It is a bit more

expensive than conventional braces)

7. Porcelain Veneers: this was only

affordable for the rich and TV pe sonalities,

but these days they are very affordable to

everyone and it seems to be the thing that

most adults ask for and truly appreciate

as it gives an instant transformation

and permanent perfect straight white

smile,a huge boost to personal and work

relationships. This is suitable for people

who have stained or discoloured teeth,

crooked teeth, broken or uneven teeth, teeth

with multiple fillings or anyone who want a

nicer smile. Veneers are thin shells that are

bonded perman ntly to the outside surface

of teeth to give us that amazing smile.

(price $800-1400 per veneer)

8. Snap on smiles: this is an alternative

to dentures, implants and veneers, it is of

v ry l w cost , It is a removable option that

literally change your whole look by just

snapping it in place. It is suitable for people

ho have stained or discoloured teeth,

missing teeth, crooked teeth, broken or

un ven teeth, teeth with multiple fillings

or a yone who wants a nic r smile. (Price

9. Sapphire and Zoom laser whit ing

the dentist is the nly person wh can

apply 37% hydrogen peroxide with Laser

activation to achieve those whiter teeth

everyon wants. Even though some beauty

salons offer whitening it is not of the same

efficacy and safety. We cover all the gums,

isolate the teeth a d safely finish the

rocedure without any harm to gums and

teeth, something you are not guaranteed in

beauty sal ns
